Scientific paper

A decaglutamic acid primer is extended very slowly by α-thioglutamic acid. The addition of bicarbonate to the reaction mixture greatly accelerates the reaction. We believe the N-carboxyanhydride of glutamic acid is an intermediate in the accelerated reaction. When K_3Fe(CN)_6 and bicarbonate are both present in the reaction mixture, oligoglutamic acids up to at least the 15-mer are formed rapidly. The acylating agent is the oxidation product of thioglutamic acid, a diacyldisulfide.
